Abstract

A new, distinct Pennisetum alopecuroides plant as shown and described, characterized by thick red inflorescences on 85 cm stems that start in Mid August in northern Illinois.

Description

Latin name: Pennisetum alopecuroides.
Cultivar name: ‘Ginger Love’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new form of Pennisetum alopecuroides plant named ‘Ginger Love’. ‘Ginger Love’ is a seedling of an unnamed Pennisetum alopecuroides, not patented, characterized by thick red inflorescences on 85 cm stems that start in Mid August in northern Illinois. The new plant is the result of a breeding program taking place at a wholesale perennial nursery since 2001. The seedling was grown by the inventor at a wholesale perennial nursery in Hebron, Ill. in 2010 as an open pollinated seedling from a block of open pollinated unnamed selections. The selection of the new plant was due to its thick red inflorescences on 85 cm stems that start in Mid August in northern Illinois. Asexual, vegetative division propagation has been the only means of reproduction. Propagation has taken place at a wholesale perennial nursery Hebron, Ill. since 2011. To date these plants have remained uniform in height. The new Pennisetum has shown to be stable and identical in reproduction to the parent after making over 550 vegetative divisions from 2011 to 2013.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The new Pennisetum alopecuroides plant named ‘Ginger Love’ has shown the characteristic of thick red inflorescences on 85 cm stems that start in Mid August in northern Illinois.
Plants of the new Pennisetum can be compared to plants of Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Red Head’, not patented. 1. The new Pennisetum has a height of 85 cm compared to the height of Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Red Head’ which bas a height of 120 cm. 2. The new Pennisetum has an inflorescence length of 15 cm compared to Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Red Head’ which has an inflorescence length of 20 cm.
Plants of the new Pennisetum can be compared to plants of Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ not patented. 1. The new Pennisetum has a height of 85 cm compared to the height of Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ which has a height of 90 cm. 2. The new Pennisetum has an inflorescence length of 15 cm compared to Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ which has an inflorescence length of 10 cm. 3. The new Pennisetum has a red inflorescence color compared to Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ which has a tan inflorescence color.
Plants of the new Pennisetum can be compared to plants of Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Mondry’, not patented. 1. The new Pennisetum has a height of 85 cm compared to the height of Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Moudry’ which has a height closer to 60 cm. 2. The new Pennisetum has an August bloom time compared to Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Mondry’ which typically blooms in October.
